Firefox won't recognize hyperlinks in PeoplePC Webmail message text

When I paste or type in a hyperlink in the body of an email, Internet Explorer recognizes it, and it arrives at the receiver's computer as a hyperlink, which he or she can click on to bring up the web page.
With Firefox, it just arrives as text, and if the person wants to look at the web page it links to, they have to copy it to the window at the top of another browser window.
Can this be fixed, so that Firefox will recognize the hyperlink automatically, and send it as such?

Thanks. It turns out I got my new computer at the exact time that FF dramatically changed their sync system. There was never a previous email or username or password, so the sign in page was misleading. Many users reading this will have to create an account, upgrade all their synced computers, unsync them, then sign in to their new FF accounts. Syncing will happen automatically.
The problem with "automatic" syncing was illustrated by my experience. Instead of syncing on the computer I wanted to copy, it synced from the computer I wanted to change. So, all my computers got all the bad passwords and duplicates of many good ones. It took a long time to straighten that out. But I made the changes on one computer and that changed the others. And new changes will automatically update. So it's an "easier" system. Still, I wish there was a way to choose when to sync. But thanks for the help anyway.

Firefox won't recognize latest update HP simple pass

I have tried everything and about just to say the heck with it and go back to IE9. But, I will ask.
WHY does Firefox refuse to recognize the latest upgrade to HP simple pass (Egistech) that is loaded onto my computer. It keeps saying the current 5.0 version is not recognized. Ok, I understand this, but I have loaded version 7.1 and firefox evidently cannot see it and keeps telling me 5.0 is installed.
Am I doing something wrong, or is Firefox just worthless and IE9 is the way to go?

Does Firefox find other plugins placed in that folder?
Note that you need to place a symlink to the libnpjp2.so file and not the actual file.
You can also try to create a plugins folder in your home directory: ~/.mozilla/plugins

After installing updates, Firefox won't work. I got the message /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin -ProfileManager Error: Platform version '1.9.2.4' is not compatible with minVersion = 1.9.2.6 maxVersion /Applications/Firefox.app/Conten

I cannot access download.mozilla.org. I need to do a fresh install after something went wrong with my updates and now Firefox won't even open so I am using Safari. I don't know why I can't get download.mozilla.org: is it because I am in China and it's now been blocked or is there a problem with the website?

Do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop. 
Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer. 
It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
You can skip the step to create a new profile, that is not necessary for this issue.

Firefox won't start, there is no error message and it is not already running.

Hi,
When I try to click on firefox, the little wait icon appears and then disappears. Nothing opens, not even safe mode. I've looked at the "Firefox won't start and there is no error message" help section and looked at my task manager processes. It seems that when I click firefox, it briefly appears on my processes and then disappears. This happened yesterday while I was in the middle of using it. At the same time, my Skype also crashed, which makes me think the two are correlated. The two programs still don't work. The only way that I can open firefox is if I install it all over again with the "launch firefox now" option checked at the end. When I have a firefox window open, I can open other firefox windows just fine. When I close it, nothing opens. Thanks for your help.

1) Start Task Manager
2) Open Processes (make the description area large enough to see)
3) look for a description that says ''firefox''
4) Select it and press End Process
'''Now Firefox should work properly.'''

My new iWeb won't recognize my website, gives error message

UPDATE: After more reading, I found the only ".sites" file I have on my computer (Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain.sites2), and opened it in iWeb, which prompted me to choose a background for my site as if I were creating a site. It looks like I'm missing this .sites file for the website I already made.
Is there a way to recreate this .sites file? Does it exist on my remote server?
Thanks for your help.
Old news:
I upgraded to Snow Leopard, and my friend installed it for me. He made a backup of all my files, but may not have used Time Machine.
Now iWeb won't recognize the website I created in iWeb. My website's folder appears in my directory under "Sites", and all files appear to be there.
When I open iWeb, it says "Can't open file "~/Sites/[mywebsitename]/assets.http:--www.mywebsitename.com.plist" then immediately closes.
Message was edited by: Bulletproof_tgr

If you're trying to open one of your published site files then that's why you're getting that message. iWeb can't read html files.
Is the size of the Domain.sites2 file large indicating it contains your site and its components. A new domain file with just 1 page will be around 200 KB. If the size of the file indicates that it is your domain file
Try the following:
close iWeb.
delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder.
go to your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
reboot.
launch iWeb and try again.
If that doesn't help continue with:
move the domain file from your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder to the Desktop.
launch iWeb, create a new test site, save the new domain file and close iWeb.
go to the your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and delete the new domain file.
move your original domain file from the Desktop to the iWeb folder.
launch iWeb and try again.
If you can't find a backup copy of the Domain.sites2 file that existed before the installation of SL you'll have to recreate your site from scratch. Chapter 2.3 on the iWeb FAQ.org site has tips on using some of the existing files, image, audio, video, etc., from the published site in the recreation of the site.

Firefox does not recognize hyperlinks denoting files and pages in regarding the html written to direct to the file in the same web directory. Ie: a href=myarticle.pdf

The hyperlinks are recognized by other browsers, except Firefox. A simple fix would be for any webmaster to make sure the full hyperlink is written, but that would be inclusion just for Firefox users. Simply put, Firefox should still be able to work like a DOS batch file linking files on the same directory viewed in this manner, but fails to.

That is an MS Office document and everything on that page is a image as you can see in Tools > Page Info > Media and Firefox/Tools > Web Developer > Page Source
If you used MS software then make sure that you disable VML if you save that page because only IE can display pages with VML
You can look at KompoZer for an HTML editor that generates W3C compliant code.

Firefox won't recognize the "file://path" construct.

How would I code a link in source code so that I can link to a file on a local server? The standard "file://path" or label or label constructs are recognized by IE but not Firefox. Is there a coding that most browsers will recognize? (File is located on an office server.)
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

Every time I open Firefox I need to update all my extensions because Firefox won't recognize that they've all already been updated previously.

== Issue
==
I have another kind of problem with Firefox
== Description
==
This problem only occurs the first time I open Firefox after turning on the computer, but it occurs EVERY time I turn on the computer. Every time I turn on the computer and open Firefox, none of my add-ons are seen as updated or installed (although they are all updated and compatible). I need to "find and install updates" then restart Firefox. Once this has been done, I can open and close Firefox with no problems, but it only works fine until the next time I re-boot and I have to go through that all again.
== This happened
==
Every time Firefox opened
== Started when I upgraded from 3.0.(?) to 3.5.(?).. now on 3.6.6 and still happening

I'm fine when I use Chrome and Safari -- but I'd rather use Firefox. I have done a clean reinstall of Firefox and I'm still having the problems. Any ideas?

Firefox won't recognize FF account username on a new install on new computer.

I know I have the right username, email, and password, because I am looking at them on my existing laptop. But on installing FF 28 on my new laptop and trying to start the Sync process, I keep getting the message "unknown account."
I am getting this sign in message when I choose start sync process on my new computer. But I can't sign in, let alone start the pairing process.
I have done the pairing process before, recently, with my desktop and my existing laptop, so I know it works. Something about FF is not allowing it to recognize my correct email.
I'm on Win 8.1.
Thank you.

Thanks. It turns out I got my new computer at the exact time that FF dramatically changed their sync system. There was never a previous email or username or password, so the sign in page was misleading. Many users reading this will have to create an account, upgrade all their synced computers, unsync them, then sign in to their new FF accounts. Syncing will happen automatically.

And new changes will automatically update. So it's an "easier" system. Still, I wish there was a way to choose when to sync. But thanks for the help anyway.

Firefox won't recognize javascript

I got 2 replies for my problem. One was too technical. The other option, disabling No Script and AdBlock, doesn't work. I did come across a new option which was to type "about:config" in the address bar, and eventually found that javascript is marked as true.
Something else that might be helpful to the person reading this: Another help page says to go to Options, then Content, check off Enable Javascript. My Content page doesn't show that. I have Firefox 30.0

Sorry to be the annoying guy, but to provide the readers with full context and avoid duplicate suggestions, it would be better to post updates and followups in the earlier thread here:

Firefox won't open due to profile missing message

I have a Mac OS X 10.9.4
I got an error saying my profile is missing and it won't open, so i can not trouble shoot inside the browser since it will not open.

A possible and likely cause of this issue is a problem with the profiles.ini file and the profile marked as Default=1 in this file is no longer present on the hard drive.
*Windows: %AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\ C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile>\
*Linux: ~/.mozilla/firefox/
*Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/
You can use one of these to make Firefox create/use a new default profile:
*Delete the profiles.ini file to force Firefox to create a new default profile
*Use the Profile Manager to create a new profile
*Use "Choose Folder" when you create a new profile to select the location of a lost profile and recover this profile

Firefox won't launch - I get an error message saying that firefox has to close

It tells me it's sending a message to firefox but as I can't log in it won't do this.

I've just (finally) managed to fix this problem today. I checked the Apple Support forums, and it seems a lot of people are having the same problem.
I rang the Apple Support line, and the very helpful man (thanks Alan!) talked me through it stage by stage. If you go to the following page on the internet: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5376 it takes you through the process. WARNING - it takes a little time!
Basically, the first thing you have to do is go to your Program Files and double click on your iTunes folder. There'll be a number of files with the suffix .dll - you need to move all the .dll files from that folder to your desktop - you can simply click and drag them on the desktop..
Next, uninstall iTunes - go to Control Panel / Add/Rempve Programs and when the list comes up remove iTunes. This will take a few minutes... Then reboot your computer.
Next, go back to Control Panel / Add Remove and Remove - IN THIS ORDER -
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot again!
Next, check in your Program Files that the iTunes folder is completely gone - if it has, great: if it hasn't, right-click on the folder and press Shift and Delete - it will say "Are you sure you want to completely remove the folder "iTunes"? Click on "Yes".
Reboot!
Then go to the iTunes download page and voila! It should download iTunes without any problems... well it did for me.... Good luck!

Firefox won't open. I get a message to restart and when I restart it still doesn't work. It won't even let me uninstall the program so I can re-install. Help!!!

I upgraded from version 3.6.15 to 4.0.1. After upgrading the program doesn't open. I keep getting a message that "Firefox must be restarted to complete a previous upgrade. Do you want to reboot now?" I rebooted 3 times with no success. I also tried to uninstall the program and I get the same message! In other words I can't even uninstall. The previous version ran fine. Any suggestions?
